At the Ragon Institute, we are proud to support the LGBTQ+ community, advocating for equality and respect within the sciences. Through our research and community engagement, we are committed to fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment in the scientific community and beyond.

Researchers at the Ragon Institute of Mass General Brigham, MIT, and Harvard have uncovered critical insights into how aging impairs the immune system’s ability to fight cancer.
This study, published in Immunity on August 30, used a non-human primate model to demonstrate that previous Mtb infection leads to a durable, protective immune response that is dependent on CD4+ T cells.
MIT researchers find that the first dose primes the immune system, helping it to generate a strong response to the second dose, a week later.
